Re: Tiger's Wound - Up Close and Personal
The wound is not that deep. She has lost her scales and skin there. What you are seeing in the opening is muscle covered by it's sheath. The muscle itself has not been affected.
I have no idea what did it. I really don't think it looks like a cat wound since the edges are jagged. If I had a very good sterile pair of tweezers (forceps) I would have tried to see if the edge to the left could have been pulled out. It almost looks like the skin has rolled under there. A cat's claw would have produced a deeper "cleaner" wound. I think when she got out of the cage or was up against the wall under the radiator she tore it as she squeezed through somewhere.
